Wild, with a touch of magic
I wasn't sure what to expect on my first African safari ever when I spent two days visiting the Masai Mara in July 2024 with a group of Indian tourists.
The Kenyan safari took me by surprise - and altered my perspective powerfully. I realized that our planet did not really belong to humankind.
With patience born from years of experience, our expert guide-driver Charles took us offroading in his mini-van with a pop-up top across rough tracks with acacia trees, to slowly but surely reveal the Big 5 (Lion, African elephant, Cape buffalo, rhinoceros, and leopard) and the Ugly 5 (warthog, hyena, marabou stork, vulture and wildebeest). It was electrifying. He made sure all our safari dreams came true.
What our city eyes saw as distant 'rocks' morphed into herds of wildebeest. A clump of savannah grass rustled to life, slowly parting to reveal a leopard. A herd of elephants appeared alongside the rough tracks, as if on a calm pre-sunset walk.
We spotted a pair of cheetahs feasting on their wildebeest prey... a pregnant lioness yawning and stretching, belly up... a two-horned African rhinoceros... and vultures and hippopotamus, foxes and hyenas, zebras and giraffes...
I was fascinated by the see-saw rhythm of the Great Migration in real time (not like a National Geographic documentary, honestly). Hundreds of wildebeest and zebras gathered at the edge of a steep incline overlooking the Mara river. They seemed to be afraid of the crocodiles lying in wait for prey in the waters. A few reversed towards known though depleted pastures. The rest followed. On the first evening, we watched this natural progression live on repeat dozens of times. Never boring!
The next morning, one of the regular crossing sites from Masai Mara in Kenya to Serengeti in Tanzania was jammed with safari vehicles. Would the herds cross - or wouldn't they? They amassed, approached and retreated, time and again. Four larger wildebeest on the other bank seemed to signal that it was safe to reach the other bank. Through a tangle of hooves, we counted animals descending to the river bank. Ten minutes later, 13 wildebeest and zebras started to climb up towards Serengeti in Tanzania. They had swum safely across.
Overall, it was like being on a safari with a magician, who had the power to show us every Masai Mara animal we could imagine.
Having Thomas, an expert Masai tracker with us, helped to zone in on these wonders in the wilderness.
Charles handled every hiccup on the trip with confidence, common sense, calmness and courtesy, with our safety and comfort in mind. Always professional. I appreciated that deeply.
Would I recommend that you travel with Charles African Travels? Oh yes. Without a second thought.

Amazing 10Days Kenya Trip
We enjoy the trip with Axis.
Lucy is very helpful, arrange our trip in 10 days very well, and prepare the birthday surprise with the camp, really impressive and happy.
Our guide, Yasin, he is very professional. Expert in the area for working over 12 years. He always plan the perfect day for us. He is very good at looking for the animals, with his smart eyes.
He loves animals and the beautiful views. That’s why he could always find it.
We saw a lot of animals even for leopard and lion’s hunting. Very amazing.
And the last day, we start in early morning and could see the Kilimanjaro mountains in the park. It is very lucky. Happy to have the sunrise and sunset in Kenya.

Perfectly organized safari with unforgettable impressions
We organized and booked our safari trip in Tanzania through African Jackal Tours & Safari. We were absolutely satisfied and can highly recommend the agency.
We planned our vacation about 5 months before the trip. Communication with the owner Magreth via email worked perfectly. She listened to our wishes and suggested changes, recommended very nice hotels, and planned the itinerary according to our needs. We visited 4 national parks and stayed in 4 different hotels. She also had an optimal solution for us due to a flight postponement to Zanzibar and organized a tour of Arusha for us at short notice, including a local market and lunch. Thank you for that!
Our guide and driver Charles, with whom we traveled for 4 days, gave us very good insights into the country, the wildlife and the culture of the people. He had an explanation for every question we asked. He also got along well with our 11-year-old son. His friendliness, his humor and his reliability characterized him in addition to his extensive knowledge. We really enjoyed the four days of safari and took many impressions home with us.
If we travel to Tanzania again - which we plan to do 😊 - we will definitely book again through African Jackal Tours & Safari.

They were prompt, patient and knowledgeable about the entire itinerary.
WOA is the best way to plan your travel. As a Safari novice, and planning a surprise trip for my fiancé who is a safari connoisseur, I was extremely happy with the way Paul helped me plan the trip. From keeping the trip customized to all my needs, to making great recommendations about the day to day activities so we don’t miss anything without getting overwhelmed - Paul was great! Now that I have been to Africa and seen places first hand, I appreciate the itinerary even more! And the guide/ driver, Dan, was the best part of our entire trip. He was kind, funny and just as engaged in sighting animals at the forest as us.
Already recommended WOA and Dan to friends!

Unforgettable
Unforgettable We are absolutely THRILLED with our 7-day safari experience with Kisangara Tours Limited. Before the safari, Avitus quickly and efficiently addressed all our questions via email and WhatsApp. The payment process was straightforward and reliable. We chose this company based on online references, and we will definitely recommend them to our friends. A HUGE THANK YOU to our exceptional guide, Hassan. His expertise in driving, knowledge of animals, and even Spanish was impressive. Our kids had a fantastic time and learned a lot. Hassan’s patience, helpfulness, and cheerful demeanor made our safari unforgettable. We always felt relaxed and safe with him!

Local and family-owned Company that provides very good service
We booked the tour with Tanzania Roadside Expeditions based on a recommendation of a German friend. In total we are very happy with the decision to select this tour operator. We did three tours: one day hike at Kilimanjaro, 7 days of safari and a guided tour through Stone Town. All three Guides we had were very experienced and open-minded. Especially during safari we felt very safe due to the driving of our guide Laurian.
As communication with the local manager is via WhatsApp, we recommend to don‘t hesitate to ask as many questions as you have in particular if something is unclear. Paul is happy to adjust the journey until it fits in with your budget and your wishes.
All in all we can highly recommend to book with Tanzania Roadside Experience.
